Host CO_Ayidee says:
Ship's Log, Stardate 11001.31, Captain Ayidee reporting.  The crew is working to figure out what, if any, connection there is between the sabotage on the surface and the attempted assassination of Miss Winters on the ship.  I feel there is a connection, but for now that is simply conjecture.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Begin Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::On Bridge, trying to get a few answers.::  *CEO/FCO*: How is your search on the surface going?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::on Bridge::

Host TO-Hot says:
CO:  Security teams have checked in and we can find no one that does not belong to us.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
@CEO: You answer the captain, what you have found?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
TO: Understood.  That's just stage 1 check.

MO_Monroe says:
::With CMO in Med Lab #1::  CMO: I've set everything up, Doctor Brabas.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
@FCO: I will.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::After a crime scene investigation and gathering evidence, the computer has taken the rest to examine::
MO: Good, good, now let’s hope that something will get out from this samples.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
@*CO*: Captain, I have found a hairpin on the wires.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
TO: Next search, each crew member needs to be checked and have their identity matched to their Comm Badge.  Long search, but best I have so far.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
MO: But I think that this will not help a lot.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CEO*: Can you tell where it came from?

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
::On the bridge, after getting an update from his department clerk::

Host TO-Hot says:
TO:  Yes Sir.  As you know, we are short on security numbers, so it will take longer than usual.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He looks at the findings that slowly come on the computer terminal::

MO_Monroe says:
CMO: We have to try, Doctor.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
@::Raises an eyebrow.:: Self: A suggestion would not do harm, I would say SO Bright. But if that is true?
CEO: Can you see the origin?

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
MO: Yeah we have, and this is what I have been afraid of.  ::Points toward the panel::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
TO: Check Security teams first, and then as non essential personnel are checked, recruit them as temporary assistants.  And random checks for now, with no exclusions for previous tests.

Host TO-Hot says:
CO:  Aye Sir, I just needed your authorization to do that.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
MO: Some minerals that are common to half the planets in the known universe.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Inputs authorization.::  TO: It has been input.

MO_Monroe says:
::Looking at the latest readings on the control panel::  CMO: We did the right thing.  If we hadn't put her in stasis she'd have died in a day and a half.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
@CEO: Lieutenant Commander On? What are you staring at that hairpin and the landing facility? It does not get better from it. I think the Captain wants to see who the owner could be.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she is doing her usual daunting task of monitoring sensors and then something peaks her interest.::  CO:  Captain, I just noticed another sign of a ship in the area but I am unable to ascertain if it's really there are not.  I'm still working on ascertaining on the validity of what I detected.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
@*CO*: Mr. Zdunowski and I had searched the perimeter and have all exploded parts.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
MO: That is optimistic, I would say 6 to 8 hours, she had got.

MO_Monroe says:
CMO: Yes, it seems we don't have access to certain materials to formulate an affective antidote.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CEO*: Is there anything else you need to accomplish down there?

Host TO-Hot says:
*Security Teams*:  By authorization of the CO, we are to do a check, crew member by crew member to make sure they are who they say they are.  Check badges against faces.  Then a quick blood test.  When they have been passed, recruit them to help you check the rest of the crew.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
MO: But there will be some degree of the cellular degradation from the poison effects.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Full active sensors in the local area you suspect.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
Self: This is not going to lead us anywhere.

MO_Monroe says:
CMO: I'll start running that second batch of tests, Doctor.  Why don't you take a few minutes to catch your breath.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Just activated full active sensors in the area where the signal allegedly came from.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
@*CO*: No, Sir.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
MO: Did you hear where her home planet is?

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
@CEO: I guess we can get off here, back to the Cherokee?

Host TO-Hot says:
TO:  I confirm OPS Sir.  Not enough there to find out who or what it was.

MO_Monroe says:
::Sits at a worktable preparing specimen containers::  CMO: Miss Winters is from the planet Variel.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CEO/ FCO*: Then report back to the Cherokee and come to the Bridge so we figure out what's what.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
MO: Hmm I will do some more analysis. But I am afraid that we shall have a problem much larger than I expected.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
@FCO: We need to get back to the ship with all the evidence and analyze it.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
@::Nods, as to understood, that he heard that the team had to return.::

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
@*CO*: Understood.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
MO: Do we have any information on her planet?

MO_Monroe says:
Self: Darn.  ::Gets up:: CMO: I need more containers.  I'll be right back, Doctor.  Did you want a coffee?

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
@CEO: Well, lets go, and take that hairpin with you.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
MO: Flower juice. Please.

MO_Monroe says:
CMO: I think the counselor is working on getting information on our patient.  Flower Juice, coming up.  ::Exits Lab::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
MO: Right thank you.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
@FCO: No problem, I take the hairpin and let's back to the ship

Host TO-Hot says:
OPS:  Can you spare any of your department to help with the crew identification?

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
*CNS*: You have a moment to talk?

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
@::Starts to head back to the shuttle. Still looking around for odd things.::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CO/OPS: Orry and I are making progress.  I'm expecting a private COM from the Vareilian Embassy.
*CMO*: Of course, Doctor.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
*CNS*: Did you get any data of miss Winters planet?

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CO: Can I use the observation lounge, Sir.  To take the call?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: CNS: Granted, but take a Security or Orry with you.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
@::Gets to the shuttle and opens the door.::

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
@:: he is behind the FCO also looking around and getting back on the shuttle::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
TO:  Take Crewman Taylor, he's itching for something more exciting than being on the Bridge all the time.  ::Jarod Taylor shot her a "why me?" look::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
*CMO*: If all goes well, Doctor, I hope to be making contact with Miss Winters home world soon.
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Motions to security to get someone to accompany him::

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
@CEO: When this is over, and we get into a quieter time, I can teach you to fly a shuttle. I mean, you can fly it, but I will teach you some tricks so you fly it better. You never know. And only if you want to. Hop in and take your seat.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
Taylor:  Go with Lt Hot, and follow his orders as if it's coming from me.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
*CNS*: Who ever used poison on her it was not from the planet below, so if you can please try to find as much information on their ecosystem.

Host TO-Hot says:
::grins::  OPS:  Yes Ma’am!  Mr. Taylor, report to Lt. Smith on deck 3.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
@FCO: Great, I would like to learn more about flying shuttles. Thanks!

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
@::Closes the door after the CEO is in and takes the front seat.::

MO_Monroe says:
::Goes to a supply closet around the corner, walks into the closet to retrieve some specimen containers::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
<Taylor>  OPS:  Yes Ma'am.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
::Heads in to observation lounge::

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
@:: in his seat waiting for the FCO to guide the shuttle back to the ship ::

ACTION:  An unknown person steps out from behind the door and hits MO Monroe on the head, knocking her unconscious.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
<Taylor>  TO:  Yes Sir.   ::goes to where directed of course someone else joined him as he went to where he was told to go.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Set the scanners on a random rotation.  If there's something out there, I don't want them to find a pattern. Full active sensors looking for thermal or graviton sources that can't be identified.

SO_Bright says:
::On the bridge, manning the science station::

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
@::Does the pre-flight tasks and then starts the engines.:: @CEO: You can contact OPS as soon as we are out of the planet, and tell her, to open the gates.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
@FCO: You tell me when and I do that.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Yes Sir.  ::sets the scanners on a random rotation and hopes for the results that everyone hopes it was provide::

Host TO-Hot says:
CO: Security teams have checked in and are following your orders.  Everyone so far are who they are supposed to be.  I have been running scans inside the ship and cannot find anyone who doesn't belong.  They could be very smart and just in another area when I check.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
@::Starts the thrusters and lifts the shuttle slowly. Nose up and starts a very steep climb out of the atmosphere.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
TO: Use sensors to look for any bio-signatures not attached to a Comm Badge as well.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
@CEO: We are above the atmosphere. You can make contact now. The ship is there strait in front of us. Can you see her?

Host TO-Hot says:
CO:  Aye sir, I have done that once, but I will do it again.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
@FCO: Okay, I see the ship

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
@OPS: This is the CEO and FCO in the shuttle, Would you open the gates in order to land?

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
@CEO: You have to tap the communicator sir. She does not hear us.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
@*OPS*: This is the CEO and FCO in the shuttle, Would you open the gates in order to land?
FCO: Thanks, my mistake.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
*CEO*:  Understood.  The door will be open for your return.  Be careful.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
@CEO: No problem. Hehe. It is always good to have some ammunition for a new joke or so. Hehe.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::opens the bay doors for the returning shuttle::

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
@:: smiles ::

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
@::Steers the shuttle towards the bay doors of the Cherokee.::

ACTION:  The bay doors slowly open allowing the shuttle to dock.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
@CEO: The gates of hell, sorry, the bay doors of the Cherokee open up for us.
::Steers the shuttle gently inside the belly of the Cherokee. Fires the thrusters in order to brake and lands it gently.::
*OPS*: We are in. you can close the doors.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
@FCO: Starts docking procedures.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
*FCO*:  Bay doors closing.  ::closing the bay doors::

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
CEO: That is it then. Let’s get out and head to the bridge.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
FCO: Great, Job!

SO_Bright says:
::Routinely scanning the area, surrounding the planet, Patel IX and the Cherokee::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::Looks at Computer panel::

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
CEO: Thank you. Lets go.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
Self: Darn it nothing, not a single part to find.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
FCO: Hurry up, let's go to the bridge ::

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Walks to the door of the shuttle, opens it and walks out of it in to the shuttle bay. Then out of the bay and makes his way to the Turbolift.::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::Computer didn’t reveal any useful information on the blood sample::

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
:: he follows the FCO quickly to the Turbolift in order to go the bridge::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
*CNS*: Sorry to bother you, but I have concluded something.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Enters the Turbolift:: TL: Bridge.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
*CMO*: No bother, I'm just... never mind.  What have you concluded, Doctor?

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
*CNS*: I can only tell you that antidote we are looking for is on her planet and nowhere else.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Exits the Turbolift together with the CEO and walks over to the Captain.::

CTO_Lt_Shirley says:
*TO Hot* have You found  any discrepancies?

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
*CNS*: Computer didn’t match any similarity to other poisons.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
*CMO*: I was afraid of something like that.  Keep her in stasis and let's hope we can contact her people soon.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
FCO/ CEO: Welcome back.  What did you find down there?

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
CO: Captain, Here is the hairpin that we found on the surface.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
*CNS*: Will do Brabas out.

SO_Bright says:
::Gives FCO a nasty look then returns to her console::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: Any DNA found on it we can use to confirm or deny suspects?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::sensors alerted that it picked up another blip.::  CO:  Sir, I just detected another blip on the sensors and I finally have enough information to ascertain the source.  We got a Romulan Warbird in our midst.  Naturally, the ship has since cloaked again.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Raises an eyebrow and puts his nose in the air. Points with his finger to her.:: SO: You did that. Why?

ACTION:  Another blip appears on OPS sensors.

SO_Bright says:
OPS: Ma'am, did you just see that? It happened again!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Hail them on a general hail.  Identify ourselves and ask them to parley.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
SO: You blew up the whole landing facility, and now you are playing the innocent lady?!?

SO_Bright says:
::Looks at FCO:: FCO: I'm not appreciating the rumors you are telling about me, Sir.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
CO: I guess that Mr. Zdunowski knows the answer.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
FCO/ SO: Enough.  Right now we don't know who did what, but we do know things are happening that don't match what they should.

CTO_Lt_Shirley says:
::walks to Turbolift and says bridge::  

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
SO: Rumors? That is no rumor, it is a fact. I saw YOU behind the facility, poking into it.

SO_Bright says:
FCO: ...and I did no such thing to your precious landing facility!  I was no where near it or you!

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
COM:  Ship:  This the USS Cherokee.  Please identify your ship and reason for being in this location.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
Med Tech One: Can you please find me Dr. Monroe?  I need to talk to her.

SO_Bright says:
CO: Sir, am I going to be charged formally for something?

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
SO: We did find a hairpin. A hairpin you are normally wearing. I do not wear these things. Or is there somebody else on this ship, looking like you?
CO: Captain, I am sure, she was poking into the landing facility. Sorry for my tone.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
::goes to his console:: <computer> Run a DNA match on this hairpin.

SO_Bright says:
FCO: Sir, I do not nor have I ever worn hairpins, I'm not my grandmother!

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
All: Ah! Sigh.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
FCO/SO: I said enough!  We don't know that things are as they appear.  We also have video evidence that Commander Nash was in 2 places on the ship at once.  A first year Cadet knows that is impossible.

CTO_Lt_Shirley says:
::walks out on the bridge:: 

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
CO: Ok, ok, ok. ::Puts a hand at his forehead. And wipes it.::

Host TO-Hot says:
CTO:  We have had no results so far in finding anyone that is not Cherokee crew.

SO_Bright says:
::Is silent.  Gives FCO one last sour look then returns to nothing but her duties::

CTO_Lt_Shirley says:
TO: thank You and keep up the good work. 

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: How sensitive are the atmospheric sensors on the ship?

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
<Med Tech One>CMO: But she was here and I think she is still on the 8 Deck but in another part of the Sick bay.

CTO_Lt_Shirley says:
::watches the SO and the FCO, makes sure everything is alright there::

SO_Bright says:
OPS: Ma'am if this is a Romulan ship, that might explain why the shuttle with the assassin in it had a cloaking device, and Miss Winters shuttle didn't.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
CO: Commander Nash in 2 places at the same time? I know she is fast, but not THAT fast. Then, you mean... SO Bright could be someone different then this one? ::Pointing towards the SO.::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
::Receiving expected COM::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
FCO: That's the theory I'm going with.  Occam's razor may say no, but I think I know both officers enough to throw out the theory they've gone rogue.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
SO:  Yes, it could explain some things but it raises a ton of other questions like:  Why is there a Romulan ship in our area?

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
Med Tech One: She was suppose to be here with a sample tubes.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
CO: Well in that case, I guess, I have to apologize. Hmm.  ::Scratching his head.::

MO_Monroe says:
::Making her way to the stasis lab::

CTO_Lt_Shirley says:
::just keeps her eyes and ears open::

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
CO: The atmospheric sensors of the ship can help us analyze the evidence that's what I am trying to figure it out.

Host TO-Hot says:
CO:  Sir.  I can’t find any trace of that Romulan vessel.  I wonder if they are using new technology to hide their signature?

MO_Monroe says:
::Enters Stasis Chamber Room and seeks out the one belonging to Whitney Winters::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: I mean can they tell if we're using more Oxygen than our crew manifest would indicate?

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Walks over to the SO:: SO: Well, hmm, yeah, um... no, yes, I am sorry for my tone. I really saw a person looking like you. But here are my sincere apologies.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
Med Tech One: Never mind, I will do it my self.
::He gets up from chair and walks to the Laboratory specimen storage.::

MO_Monroe says:
::Finds the chamber holding Winters and examines the control panel controls::

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
CO: Our crew is right, we're using more oxygen.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::As he walks in he finds MO Monroe lying down on the floor, a stream of blood is messing up her face::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
<SO_Bright>: FCO: I'll forgive you, Sir.  I'm sure we all know by know there is an imposter on board capable of appearing as others.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::Quickly he gets to her and checks her pulse and finds it ok then he checks her eyes to see if she is ok. Taps combadge::   *Security*: I need security to deck 8 pronto!

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
SO: I did not know that. Sorry. I was every where. Shuttlebay, sickbay and down on the planet. But nobody said that to me. Hehe. I must now laugh about it.

Akiva says:
::Begins to tamper with the control panel on the stasis chamber of Miss Winters, in the guise of Janet Monroe::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
*aXO*: Counselor, I have found Doctor Monroe hurt.

CTO_Lt_Shirley says:
::runs to Turbolift and says deck 8:: 

ACTION:  Akiva hears footsteps down the corridor and becomes it’s natural form.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
*CMO*: That's not good.  Better have someone check on Miss Winters quick::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::Takes a medical Tricorder and pulls out probe then checks injuries::

CTO_Lt_Shirley says:
::runs out Turbolift:: CMO: Do you know what happened?

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Walks over to the Captain.:: CO: What now?

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
*CO*: Sir, you better send Security to Sickbay.

Akiva says:
::Stops, and turns at the sounds::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
*Med Tech One*: If you see MO Monroe, please stop her but use caution.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
FCO: Now we find out what's going on.

ACTION:  There is no reply to OPS hail to the Romulan ship.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
TO: I want a full internal sensor scan, track any movement in or out of the 10 meters surrounding Doctor Brabas in the past hour.  Track where anyone close to that has gone and where they are now.

Akiva says:
::Begins to smash control panel with her fist, now changing.  Her whole arm is betting larger::

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
CO: Do you want me, to assist the CEO in a lab?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
FCO: Not unless you have a theory on how lab work will help us find an intruder.  It's down to "footpads".

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  So far there has been no reply to my hails to the Romulan ship.  I don't like what this indicates.

CTO_Lt_Shirley says:
 CMO: what going on? do you know? 

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He finds out that MO has a concussion and slight wound on back of her head, he grabs her up and tries to walk to Sick bay with her::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: I don't either, but let's keep it civil for now.

Akiva says:
::Continues to change, forming into a four legged hairy beast and flees from Sickbay::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Of course.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
*TO*: Please secure stasis chamber bay.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
CO: In that case, I pick up my job, as the ship crew’s private chauffeur. Right?

Akiva says:
::Makes her way down a corridor, knocking anyone in the way aside with a massive claw::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
FCO: Or you prepare some footpads.  Grab a Phaser and a Tricorder, we need all the help we can get.

CTO_Lt_Shirley says:
::securing stasis chamber:: 

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
CO: The analysis from the computer was that it was from a dead skin.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
CO: In that case? I'd be delighted. ::Smiles.::

Akiva says:
::Tears open a Jeffries tube access panel, changes again to a flying creature and flies into the tunnels off the ship out of sight::
